Scribe Reference Index
Every reference/ file scribe owns, and the condition that makes it worth
reading. scribe/SKILL.md keeps only the shared-contract rows and a pointer here.
Read this when you need a reference and the Recipe registry did not already name it, or when scanning what this skill can consult at all.
